One of the things our kids like to participate in is the High Altitude Challenge. Every fall, our local rec center puts on a fun race once a week for the kids to run a mile.

Ben loves this activity!

Emmy enjoys it too!

Hyrum tolerates it!

This past year, even Lucy got in on the excitement and ran all three times and ran the full mile. She was so proud of herself and I was proud of her too. I love her big smile that she would smile at me as she passed running.

The kids were able to improve their time from the start to the finish.

It is a great activity that we do with our kids that they enjoy and that helps them to stay healthy!

Quote of the Week

"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly."-President Thomas S Monson

Sisters, there is something inspiring and sublime about the little forget-me-not flower. I hope it will be a symbol of the little things that make your lives joyful and sweet. Please never forget that you must be patient and compassionate with yourselves, that some sacrifices are better than others, that you need not wait for a golden ticket to be happy. Please never forget that the “why” of the gospel of Jesus Christ will inspire and uplift you. And never forget that your Heavenly Father knows, loves, and cherishes you.—President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
